another is it just me question

[masque]

Attached a leaflet/menu mock up for a restaurant. When trying to apply some of the new filters to certain elements in this recycled drawing of the vase of flowers I get a result as in the screen shot.
Is there a difficulty in applying some effects to some types of object, particularly if they have had effects applied earlier. I don't remember noticing this before with earlier effect plugins etc.
Can it be that the drawing, originaly produced in an earlier version of xtreme has elements that are now incompatable with newer effect types?
